    “It’s like they let it happen”;
    by Cindy Beringer
    When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, directed by Spike Lee, a two-part HBO documentary.
    AS THE anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approached, the usual media barrage of retrospectives interrupted celebrity murder stories and filled the tube with images of the haphazard fury of nature.
    As Tropical Storm Ernesto passed over Jamaica and headed for the Gulf of Mexico, politicians and engineers nervously insisted that there was a (…)

    By Immanuel Wallerstein
    When many years ago, some of us said that the decline of United States hegemony in the world-system was inevitable, unstoppable, and already occurring, we were told by most people that we ignored the obvious overwhelming military and economic strength of the United States. And there were some critics who said that our analyses were harmful because they served as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
    Then the neo-cons came to power in the Bush presidency, and they (…)

    "Capitalism Has Only Hurt Latin America"
    Bolivia’s President Evo Morales, 46, talks to DER SPIEGEL about reform plans for his country, socialism in Latin America, and the often tense relations of the region’s leftists with the United States.
    SPIEGEL: Mr. President, why is such a large part of Latin America moving to the left?
    Morales: Injustice, inequality and the poverty of the masses compel us to seek better living conditions. Bolivia’s majority Indian population was always excluded, (…)

    By Frank Rich The New York Times
    President Bush came to Washington vowing to be a uniter, not a divider. Well, you win some and you lose some. But there is one member of his administration who has not broken that promise: Donald Rumsfeld. With indefatigable brio, he has long since united Democrats, Republicans, generals and civilians alike in calling for his scalp.
    Last week the man who gave us "stuff happens" and "you go to war with the Army you have" outdid himself. In an instantly (…)

    White House Says Judge Threatens National Security
    September 1, 2006
    WASHINGTON — The Bush administration on Friday asked a federal judge to delay enforcing her order for a halt to the government’s warrantless communications surveillance program.
    The Justice Department argued that ending the intelligence-gathering program threatens "the gravest of harms to the government and to the American public" and leaves the country "more vulnerable to terrorist attack."
    "We respectfully submit (…)

  • Decoding the Islamic Riddle, Pt. 2
    3 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Leadership over people who share in a given group feeling cannot be vested in those not of the same descent.
    "The Muqaddimah" ibn Khaldun
    The Administration’s use of the term, Islamo (Islamic) Fascism is unfortunate not only because it’s a blatant misrepresentation of both radical Islam and true Fascism but because it further confuses an extraordinarily complex situation. Rather than deal with the complexities, the Neocon tacticians have opted for schoolyard name calling in order to (…)

    WATCHING THE NEOCONS SQUIRM
    By Peter Fredson
    September 2, 2006
    For the entire Bush takeover of our country I have watched and listened to his many speeches. Lately they have increased dramatically in number. But they are all the same speech. He repeats identical phrases.
    How many times has he referred to 9/11? Has anyone kept count? And how many times has he mentioned Democracy, Liberty, Sovereignty, and Freedom?
    What is more to the point is his Orwellian double-think application (…)

    By Mary MacElveen
    I want you all to pay close attention to this quote by the Salt Lake City, Utah mayor, Rocky Anderson as he said, “Blind faith in bad leaders is not patriotism” Since 9/11, many Americans have fallen victim to said blind faith with this administration flogging them all into the most brutal submission that if they dared to speak out, that they were unpatriotic. This administration has created a fascist state even more powerful than prior ones that equally destroyed those (…)

    One year after Hurricane Katrina and the lessons remain painfully clear - the event paved the way for the standard government response to a crisis - sabotage the rescue efforts, dominate and enslave the victims, then reap the windfall from the tragedy.
